Job Skills & Chores from A-Z | Career Readiness for Special Education & Home

In the classroom:

• Secondary special education teachers running classroom job programs that double as transition skill-building
• Transition program staff preparing students for employment after high school
• Life skills and functional academics teachers looking for a structured, comprehensive career readiness system

At home:

• Parents wanting chores broken down with clear visual directions instead of repeated verbal reminders
• Families building an allowance system that ties earning to specific completed tasks
• Homeschool families teaching work readiness alongside academic content
• Parents of neurodivergent kids who need multi-step tasks visually scaffolded to follow through independently

Real photography and age-flexible framing make this work for middle school through transition-age learners, and for kids working on chores and allowance at home.

18 step-by-step posters — Job and chore positions with visual directions showing exactly how to complete each task. Print, post, and reference.

Job applications (3 levels) — Differentiated forms students or kids can fill out to "apply" for jobs and chores, building real-world application experience.

Interview system — Structured practice for the conversation that comes before getting hired — useful for classroom simulation or family role-play.

Employee of the Month system — Recognition built into the structure, modeling how workplaces (and families) acknowledge consistent effort.

Workplace vocabulary stories — Real-image stories teaching essential words like "paycheck," "schedule," and "supervisor" in context.
